We have another "moron" alert !!!! (one of the answers, not the asker)
NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! USE WD-40 ON A BIKE! NEVER
Any rust on a chain is not a good thing. Use the appropriate bicycle chain lubricant found at your nearest local bike shop only! Ask them how to keep it lubed and what kind of lube is best for the ridding you do. there are different lubes for different conditions ....Some are better than others but NEVER use WD-40 on any bike, if left outside it WILL RUST. Now since you have a lightly rusted chain you could wipe the chain with a rough rag to "clean" it but with the right lube on it and you must clean the chain if you have and wd on it, liberally apply the chain oil and wipe off the excess with a rag...you only need it between the links not on the outside of the chain! A chain that is completely rusted generally needs to be replaced! You may also take a toothbrush sized wire brush and lightly brush it off but you don't need to do that with the proper oil applied.
